The BEST Rice with Eggs — Better Than Pizza and CHEAPER Than a Slice

🔗 Save $6,000 A Year with My Complete Amish Home-Saving Method I teach: https://eliasyoder.com It is near the end of a long day, the light is going, and there is a question hanging over a great many kitchens this very hour. What is for supper. And in a great many of those kitchens the answer this evening is going to come out of a cardboard box with a telephone, a flat round thing carried to the door by a stranger in a car, costing more than a day's wage once would have, gone cold and heavy in the belly an hour later. Folks have come to believe that on a tired evening, with little time and less money, that box is the only easy answer there is. I am here to tell you plainly that it is not. I make a supper almost every day of my life that beats that pizza in every way that matters, made from the plainest, cheapest things a kitchen holds. A cup of rice. A few eggs. Whatever bit of green and garden you have on hand. It is hot, and fresh, and made by your own hand in less time than the car would take to reach your door, and it costs you pennies where the box costs you dollars. It fills the belly and does not weigh it down, and it leaves you a little money in your pocket and a little pride in your hands. This is the supper of a thrifty kitchen, the kind of meal that fed working families through hard times without anyone ever feeling poor at the table, because a thing made fresh and hot and with a little care never feels poor, no matter how cheap it was to make. And I never tire of making it, because it is cheap and fast and good, and those three things together are a rare and precious thing in food. Here is what you will learn: ✔ How to cook a perfect pot of separate, fluffy rice every time ✔ Why day-old leftover rice makes this dish even better ✔ The gentle way to cook eggs into soft tender curds, never rubbery ✔ Why a few hens give a family the cheapest complete food there is ✔ How to soften leeks and garden vegetables into the pan ✔ Why this supper bends to whatever your garden or cellar holds ✔ How a scrap of cheese and fresh parsley crown the whole thing ✔ How to make it your own with leftover meat or a soft fried egg on top ✔ Why a one-pan supper respects your time on both ends ✔ What the whole pan really costs to feed a family You do not need any special skill, and you do not need to spend much at all. You need a cup of rice, a few eggs, and whatever the garden or the cold box gives you. And once you have set this hot skillet down on the table and watched your family ask for it again, you will understand why the old kitchens never felt poor, no matter how little a supper cost. The skillet is the reward. The box is the burden, on your purse and your health both. And once you have made this a few times and felt how easy it truly is, that phone is going to ring a good deal less in your house. Now tell me something down in the comments. What is your cheap supper, the one you fall back on when money is short or time is shorter, the humble plate your family never tires of? Every thrifty kitchen has one, and I would dearly love to hear yours. Tell me. Next time I am going to step away from supper and toward the breakfast table, because I promised you something sweet. I am going to show you how the old families made their own syrup, the real thing, boiled down slow and dark and pure from the sap of the trees or the cane of the field, the kind that turned a plain stack of pancakes into something you remember your whole life long. No squeeze bottle of brown corn syrup that never saw a tree. The real, old, patient thing. Next time we make it. Until then, take good care of the ones at your table. And keep a kitchen that knows a cheap supper made with care beats a costly one every time. #riceandeggs #cheapmeals #budgetmeals #easydinner #ricerecipe #eggrecipes #fromscratch #scratchcooking #amishcooking #onepanmeal #frugalcooking #homestead #oldfashionedcooking #quickdinner #pennsylvaniadutch
